RIP Jordan Cofer ❤️
A representative from the National Center of Transgender Equality, Gillian Branstetter, spoke withabout how this kind of media coverage surrounding trans people is actively harmful toward the community. “Using the right name and gender of a transgender person is crucial in life or in death,” she said. “Doing otherwise not only negates a personal and crucial aspect of their identity but can effectively erase their existence as a transgender person.
According to Branstetter, not everyone in a person’s life may be aware of their identity. “Reports from friends and community members should be given significant weight by journalists and advocates, particularly when such reports conflict with names being used on official documentation or in police reports,” she said.
In the meantime, friends like Margaret will mourn the young man that they knew and loved and hope that others will one day too. “I want to see more acceptance toward trans people not only when they’re dead, but when they’re alive,” she said. “When I first found out [about Jordan’s passing], I was broken. But I started healing when I saw people using his name more. Seeing people identify him as that made me feel just a little bit better.
